This is why I never give up
apart from all those previous seasons where I just gave up
a 50 point gap isn't that much so nor should a hundred point gap be at this stage
I can't be doing with Alf Kippers Never say win attitude! Anyone can still win it !
I mean anyone from the top 5 obviously, i'm not crazy

me too , It's the only way to maintain a decent quiff
Sold Robinson for Castagne just before the deadline to free up some cash and still keep an attacking Fulham defender. Robinson then gets two assists and a bonus! You get what you pay for in this life (except when you pay Madame Chloé for French lessons on Brewer street - lawyers have been instructed - Je n'aime pas être pris pour un imbécile).
Nine pointer from Wood on my bench, too, but I was never going to play him against Pool.

Agree. The Assistant Manager Chip makes it very open this year. Lots of potential for people to f**k it up as well as use it well. I'm dreading it.
Kipper has played an early wildcard so at least he's planning to soldier on for a while. I won't be joining his City love-in though.

And Gabriels goal is down as a Solanke OG
That's bad luck
And just to cheer Herc up as he's always a bit down when he posts on here
Mr Grytpyppe Finn is the current front runner in Januarys manager of the month award

Thanks Steve, although I'm more annoyed by the Wolves goal being disallowed and Chuna only playing the second half.
Rogers and Hall killing my rank this week - and Wood - who I bloody own! Still I've been below 500K since GW3, so I'm having a good season.
I bought Hall in on a whim when I had an injured defender and just looked for a replacement that I thought was most likely to keep a clean sheet that week
But he's scored well so he's a keeper even though he's a defender.
And I think Rogers was in my team from the start because of his cheapness, but even when he was out for a couple of weeks I kept him in red on the bench
because I rate his value at that price. definitely two of my luckier choices
And I'm glad Man U are Pony tonight
but that doesn't mean Fernandes can't produce something
I saw the actual leader of the whole league has Fernandes as well, so there must be a reason
I can't stand him but I'll put him on my watchlist in case theres something I'm missing.
Oh yes he almost got an assist just now
Yup I think I'll watch the Traitors instead of Fernandes
EDIT
Did anyone captain Diallo?

Yeah I had Rogers from the start. I sold him for Saka but I'd rather have him than Sarr at the mo. You're right, he's excellent value and a good asset.
Fernandes is a great player in a very shit team who is sometimes a good fantasy pick. I bought him When Van Nistelrooy took over and put him up front. Sadly (and hilariously) United booted Van Nistelrooy out and now he's gone back to a slightly deeper role of playmaker/attacking midfielder where he doesn't have the same access to points. His passing and creativity is outstanding (he got 2 bonus against S'ton with no attacking returns) and he is the MU penalty taker but I think you can safely take him off your watchlist.
Nice to see that Billy's remembering not to bench Kluivert, even in tough fixtures...
Wouldn't be saying that if I was Kipper, obviously.

Once bitten... It was a near thing though!
